A/N: Hi. Thanks for the great reviews! I hope you like this chapter as well! Please R&R! Thanks.
Chapter 4:
Rogue snuggled into Scott after their lovemaking. All of the sudden she felt very content and not a single bit lonely anymore.
They didn't say anything for a while; they just lay there together each processing the new feelings they were feeling.
"How are you feeling?" Scott asked.
"Ah feel great," she told him, caressing his arm with her bare hand.
"So how much more time do you have?" He asked her, while reciprocating her touch.
Rogue lifted her head from his chest to look at the clock, "It's 9:15pm now, so about 23 hours," she replied.
"Good," he said, tenderly kissing her forehead, "Now tell me again, how this is even possible," he asked her, while looking at her curiously.
"Before tha professor left he gave meh ah little glass bottle wit' some blue liquid in it. He told meh if ah drank it, then ah'll be able ta touch for about 24 hours. But that it was ah one time thing only," she explained. And then she added, "See, that's why everything can go back ta normal by tomorrow night. It can be just lahke nothing happened between us at all."
"I don't know about that," he replied, half talking to himself as he started to fall deep in thought.
"I've always had feelings for Rogue," Scott thought to himself, "But she was always pushing me away, keeping to herself. I guess I gave up on her. That was the stupidest thing I ever done."
Rogue lay there wondering what exactly he meant when she remembered something. "Scott! Ah almost forgot." She sat up abruptly, lifting the sheet to herself when it fell off.
"What?" he asked, startled out of his thoughts. He sat up as well.
"Did tha Professor give ya your Christmas present?" she asked urgently.
"Yeah. He told me to open it when you were around. He said he didn't have time to explain to me what it was and that you'd know," he said, confused for a second, before he figured out where she was going with what she was saying, "It isn't... is it?"
He leaned over her, there bodies touching, skin on skin and pulled a little box out of his bedside drawer that was wrapped similarly to Rogue's.
"Open it," she said eagerly.
He nodded and started to unwrap. When he was done he found a little glass bottle with identical blue liquid as the one Rogue had received.
"It is," he whispered.
"Yeah, that's tha same stuff," she told him.
He quickly uncapped the lid and lifted the bottle to his mouth.
Before he could drink it, Rogue asked, a little alarmed, "What are ya doing?"
"Drinking it," he said looking at her to convey the obviousness.
"Don't ya want ta save it for when Jean comes back or someone else special ta ya?" she asked, her earlier confidence leaving her, as she hung her head down.
He lifted her chin up with one hand so she'd meet his face; she saw that he was smiling. "I can't think of anyone more special," he told her, receiving a long kiss as a reward, "You shared your gift with me, I want to share mine with you." A smile overcame her face as she watched him down the liquid.
"How do ya feel?" she inquired.
"Tingly. Almost like...my powers are gone," he said slowly. He turned his head a way from her and tentatively took off his glasses. He opened his eyes wide and when nothing happened he turned his head back towards her.
She was now looking directly at a pair of crystal clear bright blue eyes.
"Ah was right," she said out loud, cupping his cheek with her hand, "Ya have tha most beautiful eyes ah've ever seen."
"Thanks," he told her and then he boldly looked her up and down and said, "Your even more beautiful in color."
She blushed.
And then he started to look around the room taking in the color of everything without his usual red tint. He felt like a kid in a candy shop, he just couldn't get enough of all the color.
"So..." she started, grabbing his attention once again, "Ah think ya were trying ta tell meh something before ah came in here and seduced ya."
He looked at her, confused. It was kind of hard to remember anything before she happened, "Oh yeah I was hungry. Did you want to eat something?"
"Ya read mah mind," she said laughing as she stood up.
She reached for her underwear and started to put it back on before Scott put a hand on her arm, "Do you have too?" he asked mischievously.
"Well it wouldn't be tha best thing in tha world if we were ta walk around naked and someone came home. We'd kind of be in trouble, ya know," she said to him smiling. "Fine," he replied, sounding a little dejected.
He let go of her hand and she proceeded to put on her underwear and then she grabbed Scott's shirt slipping it on and buttoning only a couple of the buttons.
"Ok, ah'm ready," she said grinning at him.
"So that's better than being naked?" he asked, returning her grin.
"Much, now come on," she said pulling his arm to get him out of bed.
He laughed at her and said, "Wow, you must be starved." She playfully hit him on the arm and he stood up putting on a pair of shorts.
Then he followed Rogue out of the room.
Once they got down to the kitchen, Scott opened the refrigerator door and stared at its contents. He looked back at Rogue who was sitting on the counter playfully swinging her bare legs.
He couldn't help thinking how cute she was. He had always known she was cute.
"So do you want a big meal or something quick and easy?" he asked her.
"Quick and easy. Ah can think of other things we can be doing wit' our time," she said grinning wickedly.
He swallowed the lump of desire that had formed in his throat and managed to say, "Grilled cheese sandwiches it is."
"Delicious," she replied.
When they were done eating, Rogue stood up and took their plates to the sink. She started to wash them and once or twice playfully splashed Scott with some water.
Then when she was done, and Scott had dried their plates, she went straight to him and enveloped him in her arms. He in turn wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He kissed her passionately letting her tongue massage his own. Scott reached down and placed his hands on her hips and then he lifted her up so their heads were level, allowing better access to her mouth. She instinctively wrapped her legs around his body letting him feel how much she wanted him.
Somehow they had made it to the rec room where he sat Rogue on the couch. That's where they made love once again.
Once they were done they sat on the couch, naked, with Rogue sitting in Scott's lap, her head on his shoulder.
"Ah'm going ta miss ya," she said sadly.
"I'm not going anywhere, Rogue," he replied, firmly.
"Once these 24 hours are up, everything will be back ta normal. Ah won't be able ta touch. Ya'll need your glasses again. And Jean and tha others will back," she said, being realistic, "It's ok. Ah understand, its tha only way." She smiled sadly.
"Rogue, it doesn't have to be-"he started but she cut him off.
"How about we go back upstairs," she said, getting off him. She pulled him to his feet and grabbed their discarded clothes before they walked hand in hand back up the stairs.
Rogue believed everything would be the same after the 24 hours were up, like nothing would change. But Scott sensed that something had changed. Or maybe not changed, maybe something had just resurfaced. His feelings for her when she first came to Bayville. He had buried them when he realized Rogue was trying to push him away whenever he tried to talk to her. He took the hint that she didn't like him the way he liked her. But maybe he was wrong about her. Maybe he should have tried harder to get her to open up.
With them being so intimate now, whatever feelings he had had for her before were rushing back, along with some new ones that he couldn't figure out.
And here she was trying to push him away again. He made a mental note to confront her about it later, right now they just wanted to enjoy each other's presence.
Once they reached his room she quickly glanced at the clock. "Another 21 hours ta go. What shall we do?" she said slyly, walking up to him.
He reached for her and they started to kiss again. This time when they made love, they took there time, to touch, taste and learn every part of each others body.
When they were too exhausted to move, Rogue fell asleep in Scott's arms. Scott was still awake staring down at her while she slept peacefully.
"Oh Rogue, you believe everything can be the way it used to be, but how?" he thought, "I don't think I can let you go."
So there it is. Looks like Scott's starting to fall for Rogue too. And I decided to tone it down a little with the sexual content, just in case some younger readers happened along this story.

Carmen: Thanks for the review!
And just to remind you guys, this won't be a Romy, it's 100% a Scogue. Sorry to disappoint anyone.
I just can't write Romy's. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that I think there's so many of them that all the ideas have been taken and I don't know what to write.
For Romy fans I direct you to Giddy and it's sequiel Love of my Life, two stories by Seven Sunningdale, my most favorite story. It's really awesome. She hasn't updated Love of MY life since like June so go review and bug her to update.
Anyways, I'll try to update very soon!
PLEASE R&R! Thanks!
